UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC HENDERSON HOLLOlVAY, OF HARRISON VILLE, MISSOURI.

GEARINGs SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent'No. 380,721, dated April 10, 1888.

Application filed November 22, 1887. Serial No. 255,925. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENDERSON HOLLOWAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Harrisonville, in the county of Cass and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gearing, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in gearing; and it consists in the peculiar con struction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a motor embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an elevation at right angles to Fig. 1.

A represents a base or platform, which is provided with four vertical corner-posts, B, which are connected together in pairs at'their upper ends by means of cross-bars C.

D represents a vertical post or standard, which is arranged in line with one pair of the posts 13. E represents a longitudinal beam which connects the cross-bars O, and F represents a horizontal longitudinal beam, which is parallel with the beam E and connects two of the posts B, the said beam F being arranged at a suitable distance above the base or plat form. In the center of the beam F is ajourrial-hearing, G.

H represents. an arm, which is pivoted at its outer end to the standard 13 on one side of the same, and is provided at its free inner end with a bearing, I.

K represents a spring, which is attached to the standard D and bears upon the upper side of the arm H, the function of the said spring being to normally depress the free lower end of the said arm, for the purpose to be hereinafter described.

L represents an inclined vertical shaft, which has its extremities journ'aled in bearings secured to the beam E and to the platform or base A. To this shaft, at a suitable distance from its lower end, is rigidly secured a large wheel, M, which is provided on its upper side, near its perimeter, with spur-teeth N, and is provided on its lower side with wheel 0, having teeth arranged in a circle of much less radius than that in which the teeth N are arranged.

P represents a short horizontal shaft, which is journaled in the upper ends of a pair of vertical standards, R, that are secured to the base or platform and arranged under the wheel M. To the inner end of this shaft is rigidly secured a pinion, S, that meshes with the wheel 0, and to the outer end of the said shaft is secured a belt-pulley, T.

U represents a shaft, which has its outer end journaled in the bearing G and its inner end journaled in the hearing I at the free end of arm H. Near the inner end of this shaft U is secured a pinion, V, which meshes with the teeth N on the wheel M, as shown.

W represents a balance-wheel, which is secured to the shaft U near the inner end thereof, the said balancewheel being of considerable weight and size, and thereby causing the pinion V to be kept in engagement with the teeth N.

X represents a belt-pulley of suitable size, which is rigidly secured to the shaft U near the outer end of the latter.

The operation of my invention is as follows: A steam-engine or other source of power has its driving-pulley connected to the pulley X by means of an endless belt, Y, so that motion is imparted to the shaft U. The said belt bears at its upper side on the under side of a supporting anti-friction roller, Z, which is arranged atone side of the frame. The rotation of the shaft U causes the pinion V, which meshes with the teeth N of the wheel M, to rotate the latter wheel, and causes the wheel 0, by meshing with the pinion S, to rotate the shaft P. Power is transmitted from the said shaft by an endless belt which passes over the pulley T to a mill-feed cutter or other stationary machine.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that the power of the engine is applied to the machine to be driven thereby evenly and' regularly and without sensible diminution.

Having thus described my invent-ion, I claim- 1. The combination of the inclined shaft L, having the wheel M, the shaft U, having its IOC inner endjournaled in a movable support, and provided with a pinion, V, engaging wheel M, the said shaft U being further provided with a balance-wheel, W, and the pulley X, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the inclined shaft L, having the wheel M, the shaft P, geared to the said shaft L, the pivoted arm H, having its free end arranged over the wheel M, the shaft U, having its outer endjournaled in a fixed support and its inner end journaled in the hearing at the free end of the arm H, the said shaft being provided with the pinion V at its inner end, engaging the wheel M, and further provided with a balance-wheel, W, and a pulley, X, substantially as described.

free end arranged over the wheel M, the shaft 20 U, having its outer end journaled in a fixed support and its inner end journaled in the free end of the arm H, the spring K for the said arm H, and the pinion V on the shaft U, engaging the wheel M, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presenee of two witnesses.

HENDERSON HOLLOWAY.
